FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

U.S. CONCRETE SELLS ARIZONA PRECAST OPERATIONS

EULESS, TEXAS – December 17, 2012 – U.S. Concrete, Inc. (NASDAQ: USCR) announced today that its wholly owned subsidiary, Smith Precast., Inc., a Delaware corporation, completed the sale of substantially all of its assets for $4.27 million in cash and the assumption of certain obligations by Jensen Enterprises, Inc., dba Jensen Precast, a Nevada corporation.

U.S. Concrete President and Chief Executive Officer William J. Sandbrook said, “We are excited to have sold our Arizona precast concrete assets to Jensen Precast. This transaction, along with the sale of our California precast operations in August of this year, have moved the Company closer to our strategic goal of becoming the preeminent, publicly owned, domestic supplier of ready-mixed concrete in the United States. We now have one remaining precast plant, located in Pennsylvania, and we continue to assess strategic alternatives for that operation. The proceeds from the sale of Smith Precast will be used to repay debt under our revolving credit facility and create liquidity for earnings enhancing activities such as acquisitions and organic growth opportunities.”

For more information on this transaction, please contact U.S. Concrete at 817-835-4111 or email lrussell@us-concrete.com.

U.S. Concrete services the construction industry in several major markets in the United States through its two business segments: ready-mixed concrete and concrete-related products; and precast concrete products.  As of the date of this press release, the Company has 101 fixed and 13 portable ready-mixed concrete plants, one precast concrete plant and seven producing aggregates facilities.  During 2011, these plant facilities produced approximately 4.3 million cubic yards of ready-mixed concrete from continuing operations and 3 million tons of aggregates.  For more information on U.S. Concrete, visit www.us-concrete.com.
